10 Example of find command in Unix and Linux

The find command is one of the versatile commands in UNIX and Linux and I used it a lot in my day to day work. I believe having good knowledge of find command in UNIX and understanding of its different options and usage will increase your productivity a lot in UNIX based operating system e.g. Redhat Linux or Solaris. If you are a QA, support personnel, and your works involve lots of searching text on Linux machine or if you are a Java or C++ programmer and your code resides in UNIX, find command can greatly help you to look for any word inside your source file in the absence of an IDE. It is the alternative way of searching things in UNIX, grepis another Linux command which provides similar functionality like find but in my opinion later is much more powerful than grep in UNIX.
